Vestibular Function after Acoustic Neuroma Removal with Preservation of One Branch of the Vestibular Nerve
2002
Background Vestibular compensation after acoustic neuroma surgery is affected by many parameters. Apart from surgical approach, age of the patient, and comorbidity, the use of rehabilitative vestibular training and the degree of preoperative vestibular compensation play their respective roles. Objective To examine whether and how surgical preservation of one branch of the vestibular nerve affects the compensation process in patients after acoustic neuroma removal. Study design Prospective study involving 29 patients with acoustic neuromas. In 15 patients operated on by the middle fossa or retrosigmoid approach, one branch of the vestibular nerve could be preserved intraoperatively, and the …
Single Preoperative Oral Application of Ascorbic Acid Does Not Affect Postoperative Plasma Levels of Ascorbic Acid
2002
<i>Background and Aims:</i> A decrease in ascorbic acid (AA) plasma concentration is well known during the postoperative period and postulated to be caused by increased radical scavenging activity in response to surgical trauma. This often affects postoperative patients and is associated with multiple organ failure. Therefore, substitution of AA could potentially decrease the risk of postoperative complications. This study examines the effect of preoperative oral administration of 1,000 mg AA on the postoperative AA plasma concentration. <i>Methods:</i> 54 patients were randomly split into two groups; patients in group 1 received no AA preoperatively while group 2 re…
Absorption of protein in the early postoperative period in chronic conscious dogs.
1988
Postoperative alterations in amino acid exchange across the intestinal tract and in the capacity for protein absorption were investigated in a chronic canine model. Changes in postoperative splanchnic amino acid exchange consisted of a temporary decrease of total splanchnic amino acid release, including a significant reduction in alanine production, and an increase in glutamine consumption. Contrary to results under stable metabolic conditions, branched chain amino acids were also taken up by the intestine in the early postoperative period. The changes in postoperative amino acid exchange were not, however, reflected by a corresponding alteration in protein transport capacity. The absorptiv…

Postoperative Lens Position Preoperatively Determined by Scheimpflug Photography
1999
The position of the artificial lens has an important influence on refractive power calculation. We compared the position of the crystalline lens with that of the artificial lens after cataract surgery by means of Scheimpflug photography. A difference in position of approximately 0.8 mm in the anterior direction could be determined.
Altemeier's procedure for complete rectal prolapse; outcome and function in 43 consecutive female patients.
2019
Background The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate morbidity, mortality, postoperative function and recurrences in patients treated by Altemeier’s rectosigmoidectomy for complete rectal prolapse in a referral center for pelvic floor functional disorders. Methods Peri-operative data on 43 consecutive female patients were reviewed. At follow-up any change in pelvic floor function and recurrences were determined. Thirty four patients were assessed at a median interval of 49 (2–135) months, six being deceased for reason not related to the prolapse and three lost to follow-up. Results Post-operative complications at 30 days occurred in 18 patients (38%). Major complication occurred i…
Pēcoperācijas perioda izvērtējums pēc radzenes transplantācijas vispārējā anestēzijā
2020
Bakalaura darba tēma ir “Pēcoperācijas perioda izvērtējums pēc radzenes transplantācijas vispārējā anestēzijā”. Darba tēmas aktualitāte ir tajā, ka radzenes transplantācijas operācijas visā pasaulē un Latvijā tiek veiktas arvien vairāk, tāpēc ir būtiski novērtēt pēcoperācijas periodu pēc šīm operācijām, lai izvērtēt aprūpes procesu, pacientu sūdzības un dokumentācijas kvalitāti un nepieciešamības gadījumā veikt uzlabojums. Darba mērķis ir izvērtēt pēcoperācijas periodu pacientam pēc radzenes transplantācijas operācijas vispārējā anestēzijā. Bakalaura darba mērķa saniegšanai autore izvirzija sekojošus darba uzdevumus - apkopot un analizēt zinātnisko literatūru par radzenes transplantāciju un…
